Hi

What sort of weight should radiated be at around 18 months old. Just looking for a ball park figure please.

Thanks

Craig.

These are supposed to be first half of 2016 babies.
97g, 115g and 148g. These weights seem more logical to be 2017 babies don't you think.

I would think the breeder would know when he hatched them unless his record-keeping s extremely poor.

You could say their growth depends upon the conditions under which they are maintained. IE, lighting, feeding schedule, soaking, etc. Perhaps they have just grown rather slowly under his husbandry regimen.

Well if these are the same age as yours Billl and about a fifth of the weight it blows "the grow them slow so they don't pyramid" theory clear out of the water. These all show signs of minor pyramiding, well the 148g definitely does.
